Rotarygrams of the Beaumont Rotary Club, May 11, 1921

Page 1

Last Wednesday, our new president, Jim Mapes, entered upon his official duties, beginning with a big hand from the entire membership. In the language of the big league sporting writers, Jim looks mighty "sweet" with a gavel in his hand, and if his first meeting is a fair example of his work, we feel sure his administration will be a great success.

The appointment of committees showed an evidence of splendid thought in selection made of those best fitted to the work for which they were chosen.

Jim announced that it will be his policy to have such members who make trips from home to other cities to appear before the next meeting upon their return, and give a short account of their experiences and observations, which might be of benefit to our members. And carrying out this purpose, he called upon Pres Doty, our popular banker member, for a short talk relative to the financial situation, as he found same in his recent visit east and on the Atlantic coast. Pres made a splendid talk in the sort time allotted him, and concluded with the prediction that while he was optimistic in his ideas, yet he believed business conditions would return to normal only by degrees.
